At least once a week my mail is delivered to my neighbor. Quite often, it is delivered to the same house number, but on another street in my neighborhood. This is a "Rural Route Carrier" Station. The Station Manager (baby postmaster) says that he has done all he can do regarding the mail handling problem at his station.
The last time I complained to him, I didn't get mail for over a week. My bills, tax bill for my house, taxes for my cars, and even my License Plates for my new car failed to show up in my mailbox.
When confronted with this, the Manager simply stated that errors happen. Not at this rate. My Mother and Grandmother worked for the post office as regular carriers and clerks for more than 30 years each, and they would have been fired for so many mistakes. Even the union wouldn't be able to defend them in these circumstances.
Shouldn't postal employees be required to have more accountability for the mail they are supposed to deliver?
